Looking good Ian love the work so far.

Thanks John.
I'm not sure about the black parts on the rear wheel arches, should they be blue or black? the instructions have one side blue the other black, but looking at other builds they seem to be the same colour. So I think I'll paint them all blue.

Hi Ian, i think the underside of the wheel arch should be black, on the original the underside has a type of matting that when raining it reduces Tyre spray but go with what u think looks better.
Hope this helps & not confuses you as whet to do.

Thanks Scott still plenty to do.
Sorry it's been a while since I've done anything to this, but I've nearly got the trailer built. Still a long way to go though.
I've been moving along with the cab today, and driver.

That's going to be very nice. Prob a good job you are not building the spitty as a flyer as part fit is awful, unless it's been re-mastered since the eighties , lol
That's why it's on the back of the truck Steve, it's still the old mould.
